Easy Crispy Buffalo Chicken Bites

These buffalo chicken bites are made from tender chicken breast pieces coated in spicy buffalo sauce and cooked in the air fryer for a crispy finish. The recipe takes about 30 minutes and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray

Instructions

Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Set Up Breading Stations: Set up three bowls – one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, shaking off the excess, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cook the Chicken Bites: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated chicken bites in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
Toss in Buffalo Sauce: Once cooked and golden brown, transfer the chicken bites to a large bowl and drizzle with buffalo sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
